Reorganization rehashed
By Kurt Busch, Managing Editor
Recent problems revolving around the
leadership of the University Activities
Board (see cover story, Oct. 5) have
prompted a flurry of discussion and
speculation. Various parties in and around
the heart of the controversy have offered
lengthy opinions as to what exactly caused
these problems. While conjecture on the
subject differs widely, one phrase seems to
· crop up with dizzying regularity: the
reorganization.
c.
The reorganization referred to is one
enacted by the Student Life offices late last
spring. Prompted by the resignation of
University Center's Director Ron Hachett,
Student Life Director Fred Leafgren met
with Vice Chancellor Dave Coker and
Hachet himself to restructure Student
Life's organizational model. Rather than
simply hiring a new Center Director, the
three opted to shift around existing
personnel and rewrite various job
descriptions.
The whole idea sounded passable on
paper. Once enacted, however, the
reorganization faced a , few very' real
problems.
The basis for these problems stems
primarily from a lack of consultation in the
decision-making process. Input was not
sought from those directly involved in
various offices that would.be affected by the
reorganization. The restructuring was done
solely by the the three mentioned.
Additionally, the wholesale transfer. of
local talent was, in some cases, ill advised.
Rather than matching individuals with
positions
related to their field of
expertise, Student Life chose to approach
the situation by seemingly filling blank
spaces on the flow chart with names. This
was done under the assumption that
individuals who had proven capable in other
positions would need only moderate
orientation to step into another facet of
operations...
This all would have been fairly plausible,
had offices involved not been so
dramatically restructured. One such office
is Student Activities. The inlusion of such
elements as Food Service and Residence
Life functions has t:tot only overtaxed the
staff involved, it has splintered the
direction of the office, hopelessly
overextending its scope of operations.
This summer, Student Life abandoned a
proposed mass: redi~tribution of office
space in the University Center. Although
plans had already been made for the
changeover, Fred Leafgren had the wisdom
to listen to those involved who argued
against the change. It is hoped that he will
stick to this commendable precedent and
please, take another long look at the effects
of the reorganization.

to the instructors in the dance

In the October 5 issue of the
Pointer, there was the most
nauseating page of short
poems (dare we ~ven give
them that much justice, by
calling them what they don't
even resemble) we have ever
read in such a high class
newspaper. We feel this
letter, in itself, has more
literary value than any of Ms.
Trzebiatowski's
poetic
"wipe-outs." What is more,
we think she victimizes a lot
of beautiful things by writing
about them. Any passing
crows reading of themselves

Ms. T. would most likely fly
vertically into the earth.

Proposition 13·
By Jeanne Pehoski
Robert J. Lampman, a
' professor ·of economics at
uw~Madison, spoke her~ Oct.
4 at the lecture in a series on
the topic "Proposition 13: An
Answer or an Invitation to
'Chaos?"
"Wisconsin is, and'has long
been a high tax state,"
Lampman said, "its state
and local taxes amount to
about 14 percent of state
personal income, compared
to the national average of
about
12.5
percent.
Wisconsin's fastest growing
tax has been the individual
income tax; the slowest has
beel) the property tax."
Lampman said the niain .
reasonforincreaseintaxesis
the rise of social welfare
expenditures from lll>e~cent
of the gross national. product
in 1960 to 21 percent in 1976.
This 10 point increase in
social welfare spending was
divided as: two points went to
education; four points to
expa'nsion of social security
cash benefits; ·and · the
remaining four points went to
_ public assistance, health
care, and food stamps.
"The vote in favor of
Proposition 13 may be a
message that the voters-want
not just to further limit the
property tax, but to put a lid
on social welfare spendings,''
Lampman said. "However,"
he added, "the fear and
insecurity inflation breeds
may be whatever generated ·

Acting
Chancellor John

of UWSP Chancellor?
- "Y-ou bet your life I

"It's a nice place to work."
CHANCfLLO
Calling himself an
academic hobo, Ellery said
that UWSP is the first place
. that he has ever really
-wanted to stay at
permanently. Ellery has
been in higher education for
some 28 years. The crowning
success of his experience in
administrative . positions, '
said Ellery, is to obtain the ·
chief administrative office.
Ellery said he would like to
make ' some new and
significant contributions to
. the University, if he becomes
UWSP chancellor. Ellery
talked about the fiscal
constrainsts and long-range
projections of enrollment
decline, which he believes
will demand · very careful

· decisive judgement. · Ellery

honored
To
obtain
the
chancellorship, Ellery would
have to appear before a
search and screen committee
appointed by Systems
President Edward Young.
• The committee would consist
of UWSP faculty, staff and
students.
The committee would
decide the qualifications
desired in an applicant and
then open the position to the
nation. The committee would
then screen applications and
interview the most qualified ·
applicants. The search and
screen committee would then
present their top choices to
Edward Young and the Board
of Regents. A committee of
Regents and Young would
conduct the final interviews
and. ask approval from the
entire Board of Regents on
· their selection for chancellor.
But,· there · is always the
·possibility that Dreyfus will
lose in the November
election, and return as the
UWSP chancellor. What
would Ellery do in that
event? "First I?d probably
sulk. Then I'd go back to my
job as Vice-Chancellor."
Ellery added jokingly, "If I
become chancellor, I promise
not to run for mayor."
The UWSP University •
Center was honored by the

Opinion:
What's wrong-with'
the DNR~---.W-i..sc-o""'n,..s-in...;.l..e-gi-s-la-tu--r..e..: -t-h-at,
By ~ill Stark
What's· wrong with the
DNR'? Ask the average
person and he will fly into a
rage giving you many
reasons for what he thinks is
wrong with the DNR. But
after the dust settles, it
becomes apparent that
technically there is nothing
. wrong. Rememt?er that's
technically. Ethically'? Now
there is another matter, and
it's a roug~ one.
Those of you attending
UWSP interested in working
for the DNR had better get
one thing very clear. in your
mind before you enter into a
contract with the state .of
Wisconsin. It will not matter
one wit what you learned in
the tax book. If it won't sell
politically no matter how
scientifically correct your
idea is, the DNR will never
use it. As :a power, the.DNR has
flourished under the pOlitical
wing of the Lucey-Schreiber
machine. With Democrats
sweeping power both in the
state and nationally,
excellence has given way to
political arrogance ·and the
brutality of raw power. An
example of this is provided
by a graduate of the very
college you are attending.
You see one of the proponents
of the farcical "Horicon
Goose
Management .
Program" is a graduate of
your school. A man whose
meteoric rise to a $47,344 a
year job in the Fish and
Wildlife Service has caused
him to take the bureaucratic ·
road of deceit to accomplish
the job he is attempting for
FWS.
~ '
He has privately admitted
to his old· mentor Dt;. Dan
Trainer that the program is,
in reality, unnecessary and
useless. But publicly, in order
to hide the "political" facts
about Horicon, he has .
supported the idea by stating
that the goose management
program is necessary for
disease prevention purposes.
These comments are made,
of course, in spite of the
absence of Scientific
documentation to support his
thesis. On May 17, 1978 FWS
District Director Jack
to the
indeed, the Horicon program
was initiated for political
reasons. Only you never
heard that part of the story
. did you'? And, the program
still is-in effect, isn't it'? Why'?
Maybe because the general
public doesn't Jutow about the
politics involved.
The very -insult to our .
'collective _ intelligences
through such arrogant,
blatant lies, and abject
unprofessio~lism- is what is
wrong with the DNR. Rather _
than being t}le resource
responsible unit it is
supposed to be, it has,
because of a 31 percent
"donation" to its annual
operating budget, - become
.nothing but a subserviept
lackey- to whatever· policies
the federal government
dictates.
Input by the citizenry is
tolerated, but rarely
incorporated unless extreme
pressure _is applied. Rather
than remain lbe innovative
ever learning wildlife,
p.rotector it is charged with
being by the State statutes,
the DNR has become ·an
iSolated insulat~ elite group
of civil service dropouts
interested only : in self
tlggrandizement, not public
service. This unfortunate
insulation of DNR to·p ·
management from the public
has resulted in a level of
incompetency-that makes the
"Peter Principle" look like
·super.la ti ve
business
management.
The only thing wrong with
the DNR is that a decided
moral and ethical desolation
has set in due to its becoming
more .and more unreachable
by the general public it ·is
· supposed - to serve. - This ,
desolation has led to the DNR
having become .~ the - most

"Climbing" Mnt. UWSP--
Because it's there
,
By Debbie Schmidt
I looked down just in time
to see three of my climbing
comrades "fall' thirty
feet. Visions of street
cleaners sucking them up
filled my head.
"Hang on, I'm coming!," I
shouted. I scrambled down
the sheer face of the sidewalk
and retied their line. Not one
of the three even losf an
eyelash.
This was only one of the
many e-xciting moments
shared on the historic climb
of Mt. UWSP. Our expedition,
which ended on October 5th at
4:30 at the University Center,
began at 2:30 among the
rolling foothills in front of
Collins Classroom Center.
Our hardy group of six posed
for pictures, hummed a few
bars of the National Anthem
and got underway. I tugged
on my little ski hat which said
"PRESS," and wondered just
what I'd gotten myself into
this time.
The ascent progressed
without mishap - until our
line snapped, classes let out,
and it began to pour all within
five minutes. The weather
conditions hampered most of
the trip from then on. The
deep puddles often made it
very difficult to find the
sidewalk cracks. The group
did get some protection from
the elements by crawling
inside the science building
"cave."
One of our more perplexing
problems, however, was
trying to figure out how
everyone except those in our
group was able to walk right
up the sheer cliffs. People
were walking up the cliffs,
riding bikes up, and driving
_cars up, passing us by with a
variety of comments such as,
"What are you on?" and,
"Don't worry, they're
coming soon." The ultimate
insult had to be when a
busload of screaming 10year-old brats drove past us,
and shouted, "TURKEYS!"
After we exited the southeast side of the science
"cave," we traversed to the
snow fence across the service
drive, narrowly being missed
by a campus angel mail
lruck. We clung frantically to
the narrow railing edge
I
around the front of the
library~By- this time, wewere all soaked. We looked
like scrubbing bubbles who
didn't know how to swim,
We free climbed across
Reserve Street (in the
crosswalk, of course) and
dragged our weary chilled
bones the last thirty yards to
the doors of the union.
Last summer UW-Madison
sponsored the same type of
event called, "Climb Mt.
State Street." The climbers
were garbed in shorts and
tank tops however, and didn't
get too far. It's probably very
safe to say Stevens Point is
one of the first!
Our fearless leader ana
originator of the climb, Dave
Nyberg, led us up to the grid
for
the
cere,monies
afterwards. Before an
audience of 30 or 40, we
christened the peak, planted
the flag and rapidly
consumed the traditional
bottle of champagne. The
purpose of the climb was to
simply do what had never
been done before. And what
probably would never be
done again.

"If the city officials claim

Rich Sommer, member of
the-Apartment Association.
-.;t'he atmosphere is tense,
opinions vary, the issue is
complex and UWSP students
are caught in the middle. The
zonirig issue is being kicked
around among city officials,
aldermen,
concerned
·landowners and townspeople,
and whether the students are
aware of it or not, the offcampus housing they occupy
is one of the most hotly
contested issues in Stevens
Point at this-time.
The city Plan Commission
is looking into a new zoning
ordinance proposal which
may affect the off-campus
housing situation at UWSP
drastically. Any decision on
rezoning will have to be made
by the Common Council, but
the Plan Commission will
make a recommendation to
the Common Council before
any vote takes place.
What does zoning have to
do with the college
community? Basically,
different areas in town are
zoned in various ways, and
how the property is zoned
dictates how the property can
be used. "Zoning is meant to.
protect residents from living
next to incompatible units,'"
said John L. Gardner a citycounty planner. With a few
exceptions, - most ·of the

multiple family I, or multiple
familyll. _
Single family means just
that, a detached dwelling
containing accommodations
and occupied by one family
only. One unrelated person
may also live ~ithin a single
family dwelling.
Two unrelated persons
living in one house (say two
nurses who are not sisters)
may also be considered as
one family. A two family
dwelling is designed for
occupancy by two families
living independently of each
other such as a duplex. Each
of those two family houses
may have one additional
unrelated family member
living in the household.
A multiple family I district
is established to provide a
medium density, mixed
residential district intended
to provide a transition
.between lower oensity

more intense non-residential
land use. A good portion of

of these houses are also

Stevens Point's ghetto area.
One of the basic differences
in the proposed new zoning
. ordinance would be the lot
square footage per occupant
' in a multiple family dwelling.
The figure would be raised to
2,000 sq. feet per occupant.
What this boils down to is that
a house that currently holds 8
women for example, might
only be able to house 6 women
depending on the size of the
lot. . There is already a
mandatory square foot
requirement for space per
occupant within a house.

difference will have to be
paid by the remaining
renters, but city Inspection

·
Medin said that if a large
house is split into more than
one unit (meaning for
example that one home is
split so that it has two or
three separate entrances,
_kitchen facilities, baths, etc.)
then the number of occupants
in a certain home would not
necessarily have to drop.
Henry Korger felt that the
existing zoning ordinance,
adopted last March, was
adequate, and that city
officials have not given the
ordinance a chance. "Medin
and Bill Burke (city
planning) are creating
problems that do not exist,"
said Korger at a meeting of
the city Plan Commission on
Tuesday, ''and those
problems are based on

The membets of the Plan

Apartment · Association.
Members of · the Plan
Commission expect a report
from these groups at the Plan
Commission's next meeting
in November. Until then it is
hard to say exactly what will

revisions that are proposed. Chris Northwoods, also of
the Apartment Association
said that the student body
brings quite a bit of money
into this community, and that
if the housing provided in
Stevens Point does not meet
their needs they will go
elsewhere to school.
Northwoods also suggested
that students concerned·
· about their housing should
contact their alderman and
make their opinions on the
zoning matter known.
One alderman has said he
will look into converting
some of the area in Ward One
from multiple family I to two
family zoning. This type of
idea would prevent new
rooming houses in such an
area. A neighborhood
meeting was held on this
issue Sept. 20, in the first

ASK UNCLE BOB
Some of you have been talking about me behind iny
back. This isn't really unusual. People are always
pointing at me in bars and whispering things like,
"Look, it's him -the guy who writes that sicko column
every other week." I really don't mind this sort of
thing. It's just one of the many minor inconveniences
that come with being a local literary giant.
But lately I've been hearing whispers of
dissatisfaction. "Sure," you've been saying, "lie's
witty, he's attractive- probably an animal in bedbut does he know anything? I mean, like, you know,
anything really important?"
Well okay. I admit I've been writing about things
which have somewhat less than cosmic significancetelevision, the munchies, etc. But that doesn't mean I
· don't know about lots of complicated things. You want
heavy reading, all you have to do is ask ...
Q: How did the universe begin?
'
A: There are basically three theories. One group of
scientists believes that the universe began the same
way most of us began - with a Big Bang. They think
that there was a tremendous explosion at the dawn of
time which created all the matter in the universe and
threw it all over the place. This wretched mess, they
theorize, eventually cooled, condensed, and became
such diverse and wonderful things as stars, planets,
asteroids, gophers, and non-returnable bottles.
.
Another group of scientists believes that, although.~
the Big Bang took place aeons ago, the party isn't over
yet, because 'the universe is still expanding. They
think that everything in the world is rapidly getting
farther away, and that this explains the recent hikes
in airline ticket prices.
Still another group believes that not only is the
universe expanding, but that at some time in the near
future - most likely around noon next Tuesday - it
will all start coming back together. Eventually, they
believe, everything in the universe will be
compressed into a ball of indescribably dense
material the size of a Pontiac.
Q: How did Jesus feed the 5,000 with only five loaves
and two fishes?
A:Child's portions.
Q: What is death?
A: Pandroclese, a philospher and a Ro~an Senator
in the year 137 A.D., had this to say about death:
"Why are you afraid of death? Death is nothing. You
want to see something - there's a girl who works at
the Circus Maxim us- she does this act with a unicorn
-it's just unbelievable. She'll knock you out, I really
mean it."
Pandroclese was an idiot. How he ever got to be a
senator is beyond me.
Of course death is something to worry about. It's
cold and icky and smelly and dirty and rotten and
awful, and anybody who tries to tell you it isn't either
owns a funeral parlor or is writing some dumb book
like Dying Can Be The High Point of Your Life or
Death Is Just A Long Nap.
Q: Is the government lying to us about UFO's?
A: Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the pope dead?
Of course they're lying - why should they make an
exceptfon for UFO's?
I once had an aunt who said she saw funny pearshaped lights in the sky- of course, she used to see
giant hairy bats behind the shower curtains too.
The fact is, even the government is forced to admit
. that although 90 percent of all UFO's can
be dismissed as hoaxes or identified as common
phenomena, the rest simply defy eXiplanation. It's
that leftover 10 percent that gives me the '.Villies. You ,
know, I think there may be something out there.
Something intelligent and advanced and watchful and
extremely creepy. They're just waiting for the right
moment to catch us with our technological pants
down. I figure they'll probably concentrate their
attack on the big cities, which will be easy to hit, since·
they're all lit up and everything. I don't know about
you, but I turn my lights off as soon as it's dark. No
goddam UFO is gonna fry this Ham.

By Diane Walder
"The Turning Point," -a
movie about ballet and ballet
dancers that features the
New York based American
Ballet Theatre, is showing
tonight and tomorrow night
at the University center.
According to
dance
instructor James Moore
"everyone who . has ever

should see it. The movie is a
true portr~yal of what being
involved in a ballet company
is like. It's an outstanding
movie."
-James Moore should know.
He was the ballet master for
the American Ballet Theatre
and would,'ve been in the
movie if he hadn't been
overseas working with the
Royal Swedish ballet. With a
tingle of regret, he says

the movie. But it was very

_Jerusalem artichokes are
tubers that look very much

To prepare Jerusalem

· improvements can then be.
made accordingly, where
ideas work especially .well.
Our campus has one of the
best chapters in all · of
GLACURH, but don't be
surprised if you haven't
heard of it or don't know what
GLACURH is. There is a good
chance that you will find out
soon, ·as the GLACURH '78
convention will be held here
in Point on the first weekend
in November. So before you
hide at the sight of 450
· st~ange young people milling .
around our fair campus that
.weekend, here is-the lowdown
on GLACURH.
GLACURH stands for the
. Great Lakes AssOciation of
College and University
Residence Halls. Bob
Nicholson, GLACURH's
advisor here on campus,
explains the organization as a
"Student
organization
dedicated to promoting
residence hall systems and
student advocacy. "Nicholson
also explained why the
organization isn't well
known. "In the daily life of
the general student it is
unimportant."
The
organization acts as a "think
tank" for residence hall
activities that many general
students wouldn't give a
second thought to; but it is
there for those who are
concerned.
The ideas that GLACURH
members are concerned with
are many and varied. .A ·
. current project they are
hoping to have implemented
is a residence hall honorary. ·
lt is Nicholson's feeling that
residence hall students who
work for the betterment of
their halls do not receive
recognition and "residence
hall life is dependent on
student involvement.''
The University -received
the 1978 "School of the Year"
award from the National
Association of College and
University Residence Halls
and its active GLACURH
chapter is part of the reason
for this fine recognition.
Nicholson credits Cory Block,
the National Communication .
Director for this campus'
GLACURH, for his work as a
part of the campus,. high
standing nationally. Block,
who is the NCD Until the '78
conference, is also the
conference chairpers~n.
So on November 3rd, 4th,
and 5th the '78 GLACURH
conference will be held here
on campus. Up to 450 leaders
from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Minnesota, · Michig~n, and
Indian residence halls will
meet . .€\nd share information
.concerning their living areas, _
The preparations for the '78
GLACURH
a;re
well
underway. Since it is being
held on campus it is hoped
that many Point students
make it a point to attend part
of it.

Asked about the Big Ten ,
wrestling conference this
season, Kraft noted his team
at Northwestern will be very ·
young and green, but also
very competitive.
~
He noted that the two top
favorites for the wrestling
crown might be Iowa and·
Wisconsin.
He
alSo
mentioned Michigan and
Michigan State as being
tough, and the overall
. conference-as being solid.
Kraft talked about the
wrestling chances for
Americans in the 1980
;Olympics in Moscow. "I think
we'll be competitive. Our
wrestlers have a tendency to .
gear up for the Olympics,"
said Kraft. "In '72 and '76 we
won six of 10 medals. In
Moscow it will be difficult
simply because it ··is i~
Moscow."
Kraft, who takes notice of
wrestling ·around . the nation
also mentioned that he see~
UWSP as a tough and much
improved team. "I know that ·
Stevens Point ·has come up
extremely fast in the last few · ·
years," Kraft said. "I think
Whitewater and some of the
others better watch out for

The UWSP women's field
hockey team faced top
competition this weekend in
state power UW-River Falls
and nationally ranked
Bemidji State and came
away with the same result,
two close defeats.
The Lady Pointers fell to
Minnesota-based Bemidji
State 2-o and was then nosed
out by UW-River Falls 3-2. In
its only' other match of the
weekend, Point· defeated a
composite - team _ of

·River Falls and Bemidji by a
4-Qscore.
Friday afternoon, UWSP
met Bemidji State and played
what coach Nancy Page felt
was a very good defensive
game. She noted that ther
team displayed excellent
defensive skills and that the
two Bemidji goals were
."good, decisive gQals."
The Lady Pointers took on
River Falls Saturday

deadlocked at 2-2 well into the
second period, · but the

game to pull out a 3-2 victory; .
Shannon Houlihan of

"Black Dog" presented at SPASH--
.Screaming, yelling, and throwing things
The Independent Eye, a
national touring company
originating in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, brought a
fascinating comedy revue,
"Black · Dog," to Stevens
Point Area High. School last
. Thursday night. Camilla
Schade and Joseph Uher,
both company members,
gave
outstanding '
' performances on a stage
consisting of only a few
necessary •scenery props.
They performed numerous
play
acts
which
communicated their main
purpose, . which was to
examine the inner world of
anger and depression.
Yet "Black Dog" was a
unique presentation in that it
did not entertain its audience
as much as would be
·expected from a "comedy"
revue. Instead, the comical
side was a minor addition
intended as a break in the
seriousness of the play. The
·major intention was to give
the audience an in-depth look
at what part certain emotions
play in o~r:lives. .
People , rarely imagine
- themselves as .carrying a
trash can full of repressed
anger with them throughout
their liv-es, · but this is the
exact image created in one of
the presentation's play acts
·_ by the performers ..
-
"Black Dog" gave the
audience a few definitions of
expressed -anger, both
primitive and modern.
...
Primitive anger was
described as being an
emotion
outwardly
expressed, which includes
insensitive actions such as
screaming, yelling, and
throwing things. This type of
anger is one which is widely
discouraged in our society.
Modern anger is associated
with "crock-pot" conduct,
which is not usually shown
outwardly, but involves inner
boiling resentment and rage. This type of emotion may
involve the gritting of .the
teeth
and
rigid,
expressionless facial
features, but is hardly
noticed on that certain
person.
What Joseph and Camilla
stressed in their play acts is
that society should not frown
upon all showing of angry
emotions; people should not
carry with them the attitude
of bei.ng obligated to smile no

~xception
of three vocal
selections, only one of which
was written by Fogelberg.
The album is mainly
composed of piano, guitar,
flute and the melodic genious
of Dan Fogelberg. He wrote
all the instrumental pieces
and plays just about every
instrument conceivable.
Weisberg's flute carries most
of the melody lines, . again
. written by Dan.
The album begins with
"Twins Theme" featuring
Dan at piano and Tim on
flute. It is a very pretty piece
with . the traditional
Fogelberg sound.
The second piece is entitled
"InTIMidation. "This is just a
big jam session that must
have gotten recorded
somewhere along the way. It
has a jazzy beat and
Weisberg adds two lenghty
solos with prove to be too
lengthy.
Following
up
"InTIMidation" is a real
pretty tune· called "Lazy
Susan." A beautiful -melody
.chased by acoustic guitars
results in a smooth flowing
sound. Fogelberg has that
unique talent of capturing his
mood with .a song and then
being able to relay that same
· mood back to the- listener.
Also on "Lazy Susan" you get
your first listen to Dan's·
voice_. He sings a couple of
do'so's adding a harmony
voice with eac~_petition.
Possibly aaaea for its
contrast is "Guitar Etude No.
3." Dan shows off his
classical gt.titar talents by
playing some vary clean
guitar. The tune's melody is
held by Weisberg's flute and
has a different sound that is
not a characteristic of
Fogelberg's music.
Finally the first real vocal
tune on the album. "Tell Me
To My Face" proves · Dan's
voice to be in prime condition
as he belts out some strong
vocals with harmony help
fromDonHenley.
"Hurtwood Alley" kicks off
side two with Dan·playing six
thousand . acoustic and
electric guitars, or so it says ,
. on the album jacket. It also
has the traditional Fogelberg
sound as did the first song on
side one. Perhaps Fogelberg
does this iQtentionally to let
~very_one kno~ that he's still
into his· old sound, but just
branching out a little for
variety. ,
The following two tunes
"Lahaina Luna" and "Paris
Nocturne" are also

other pieces his notes are

"Since You've Asked" was
